SPOS #107 - Persuasion And Marketing With Douglas Rushkoff

Welcome to episode #107 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. From the west coast to the east coast - I've been to British Columbia and back. But, this week I'm headed to Toronto for three excellent events (links below). To get you psyched about the content, I had the pleasure of having a conversation (that finished about an hour ago) with Douglas Rushkoff who is not only giving the closing keynote at the From Mass To Grass - Word of Mouth Marketing Conference put on by the CMA - Canadian Marketing Association, but is also the best-selling author of books like Cyberia, Media Virus, Get Back In The Box And More. He's also the guy behind the amazing PBS Frontline documentaries, The Merchants of Cool and The Persuaders. Enjoy the conversation...
